We're devastated to hear the news about Marjane Satrapi. She came to our festival in 2008 and was a pure force of nature. Wise, funny, engaging. This is a big loss. (Photo taken by Justin Westover during the festival)

David Szalay reflects on the elusive moral terrain of his Booker Prize–winning novel FLESH—and why, from the very beginning, he set out to express things "obliquely, because to express them directly was, in a way, beyond the power of words."
